Problems still with DHCPD in 5.8SOHO final

[ekp]

I can not get my network up when booting.  Have had problems in the past but been able to work around it.  Can not start at all now when booting.

I have two ethernets one is on board SIS chip (disabled) the other is a Lynksys.  Lynksys card is seen as eth0 and other eth1 in KControl but vasm will only start network with inet 2 and eth1.  There seems to be some conflict.  VASM should see card as eth0 but does not.

For clarity I can only start network manually from VASM by inet 2 with a device which is seen as eth1 when it should be seen as eth0.  When setting up network init1 is set to boot automatically with DHCP which does not work.

Reboot your machine and without manually starting your network please post the output of the following commands for us:

ifconfig
route
cat /etc/resolv.conf
lsmod | grep eth

Could this have anything to do with your interfaces problem?:

Since you state you can get an ipaddress with a
change in VASM the driver is ok.

Did you read the information from Joe1962?

How about "mcedit /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info" add the MAC
address of the NIC you want to use.
